Topic: Another Garlic and Chilli Fried Rice

[meggeth]

Thanks to Goncola for ponting me in the direction of Abbots Langely Viceroy recipe. My rice was based on this, with a few minor mods. Video here, good to watch how they make it -

Makes around 3 good portions.

Ingredients
      
3 tbs oil               
4 tbs chopped garlic            
2-3 finely chopped chillis         
1/2 quite fine chopped onion      
4 slice green pepper finely chopped      
4 slice red pepper finely chopped      
1/2 tsp salt               
1 tsp mix powder            
1/2 tsp chilli               
3 portions pilau rice            
2 tsp butter ghee            
2 tbs fine chopped coriander   


Method

Heat oil for around 1 min
Add chopped garlic and chilli, fry for 1 min
Add onion, green and red pepper and fry for 30 secs
Add salt, mix powder, chilli and fry for 30 secs
Add pilau rice and fry for around 1 min, mixing well
Add butter ghee and coriander and fry for 1 min

Adding the ghee makes the rice nice and rich tasting. Could eat this just on its own!

Next time I might try Coriander and chilli rice, replacing the garlic with with around 4 tbs of coriander stalks (add later in the frying process).

Should have taken pics - next time!!

Oh yes, me too. I've never seen that much used before but I'm definitely up for trying it out sometime soon.

I guessed the amount from the video, but to be truthful I thought I was cutting back on the amount the chef used - a good chefspoon for 1 portion, I think. Also, bear in mind the recipe is for around 3 portions. To me, it didn't taste too garlicy.
Funny enough, not seen any vampires for ages,

But the video is one portion though isn't it? And he uses a good heaped chef's spoon of garlic!

Misunderstanding - I thought the "that's a lot of garlic" was a comment regarding my written recipe, but seems its to do with the video. And yes, I thought there was rather a lot of garlic in the video. First viewing I wondered if it was a garlic/onion mix, but he adds onion a little later.
